Does the Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) need to run on my DPs? I installed a new 2016 server to configure as a distribution point. By default, the BITS service is installed and set to Automatic (Delayed). The service won't stay running though and I'm wondering if that is an issue.

I am looking for information about Windows 10 Express settings with SCCM. I have read some blogs and come away with a bad feeling about it. Is anyone using this? Are there any doubts as perceived? I would like to turn this on but would also like to know it works without issues.

Hi guys, we have a SCCM Server, which has been inplace-upgraded from Server 2012R2 to Server2016 and SCCM Version was updated from 1610 to 1706.

Hi everyone I am a little confused so bare with me. We have a license for System Center 2012 R2 Config Manager but I have recently removed this due to a few issues we were having and I am looking to re-install from scratch.
